But life-sized Gundam??? Well, no we had to go, didn’t we? Gundam Statute - A full 1:1, 18m high Gundam will leave you speechless. It’s the real deal, with all the details, bells and whistles the anime version had. Why aren’t we making these in real life?!

BUCKET LIST: SEE GIANT GUNDAM IN JAPAN. CHECK!!!

To cap off our last day in Tokyo and our last agenda on Valentine's Day, we decided to try the popular onsen-Oedo Onsen Monogatari in Odaiba.

Open 22 hours a day, with indoor and outdoor hot springs, massage therapy, sushi, beer, a sleep-central personal TV lounge, free beauty products and the ability to choose your robe. Just perfect. And best of all, it’s frequented mostly by locals.

We travel to places that hold special meaning to our hearts. Seeing this massive Gundam is an homage to my 13-15 year old self who loved mecha. We decided to visit Oedeo Onsen Monogatari out of all the onsens in Japan because it reminded us of Spirited Away, a movie made by a very special director, Hayao Miyazaki who is dear to our childhood.

We would like to believe that travelling to places dear to us makes the experience richer. We didn't go there because there was a piso-fare (although it is def an added plus). We didn't go there just to say "we've travelled."Hope we could do these type of journeys in the future.
